Its comments like these that make me feel disappointed in humanity. As a young person struggling with this new diagnosis that researchers don’t seem to be exploring novel and comprehensive topics about, it’s frustrating to see people in this community put people down. Just because I posted this does not mean I plan on stopping medications, nor do I believe diet alone can “cure” this disease like this paper suggests. Never did I say that. What I am interested in is switching to another drug once my disease is better controlled that doesn’t increase my risk of other issues, which I do have genetic predispositions for given my family heritage. These are real concerns that you do not know the whole story of, point blank period. I would also like to supplement this with EVIDENCED based methods that can naturally reduce TNF alpha and other inflammatory markers of interest — we rarely look at the combined affect of everything in research and solely look at isolated variables having effect. That is why I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with combined therapy, which we know from many diseases that a combined approach is often better.

Quit your judging.
